Manager Fang led the way, and the three of them bypassed a series of covered bridges and arrived at the inner courtyard.
After Fatty Hong left, the layout of the Yazhong changed a bit, and the back garden expanded a lot. Some new attics were also built in the yard. Oh, if it wasn't Manager Fang, oh no, now Manager Li should be asked to lead the way, maybe
There is a real possibility that Master and Servant Lu Heng might be cheating on him.
After walking through an arch bridge across the lake, we arrived outside Lord Fu Yin's back garden.
Passing through the arch, what comes into view is an open courtyard.
The square courtyard is paved with neat stone slabs on the ground, which looks particularly clean. There are some trees around the courtyard. And in the gaps between the trees, there are some shelves. On them are swords, guns, halberds, axes, forks, and forks.
Everything you need.
In the center of the four-sided courtyard, there is a gorgeous red carpet. On the stalls, several women wearing tulle are dancing.
At this time, it is already the coldest month of December. Although the weather in Jiangning is not as good as in the north, you will still feel chilly after sitting in this courtyard for a long time.
Looking at the women who were wearing tulle and with slightly limp skin, their pretty faces turned red from the cold, Lu Heng couldn't help but stop and frowned.
"Damn it, Dog Official!" Beside him, Agui glanced at Mr. Fu Yin who was sitting on a chair, sipping tea, eating fruit, and watching the dance. He spat hard and whispered.
.
Agui is a Miao and was born into poverty.
The villagers in the village had to work hard for a long time just for a meal. But at this moment, seeing this corrupt official living such a luxurious life, Agui suddenly became very angry.
At this time, Manager Li had already walked in and whispered something in the ear of Master Yin.
Then, he pointed at Lu Heng and the two at the door.
After saying this, he saw Fu Yin, who was about fifty years old and already had wrinkles on his face, raised his head, glanced at Lu Heng, stood up, and walked towards this side.
"Haha, Mr. Lu has come to my humble abode, it's so dazzling!" Wei Fuyin laughed loudly as he walked. After walking in front of Lu Heng, he raised his hands and said to Lu Heng.
However, although his words were very fervent, the occasional flash of light in those triangular eyes made Lu Heng feel that this person was really hypocritical.
"Haha, Mr. Wei, you are so polite!" Lu Heng returned the salute with his fists raised, smiled slightly, pointed at the luxurious and majestic courtyards around him, shrugged his shoulders, and said to Wei Jianda: "If this government office is a humble residence, then I will live here.
It can only be described as a hut!"
The word "humble house" was meant to be modest. I didn't expect that this scholar would be so serious about it and caught the slip of the tongue. I insulted him a little.
"I've heard people say that the young master is the most talented man in Jiangning, and he has a lot of witty words. When I meet him today, he is indeed a wonderful man!" Wei Jian's muscles on his face trembled, and he said to Lu Heng hypocritically, clasping his fists.
"Master Lu, please come in!" Wei Jian stepped out of the way, pointed to the courtyard behind him with one hand, and said to Lu Heng with a smile.
"Master Wei, please!" Lu Heng cupped his fists and smiled faintly, without any humility, and walked straight in with his hands behind his back.
Huh, what a crazy student!
Behind him, Wei Jian thought he was going to show some humility, but he didn't expect the scholar to be so arrogant. He just walked in without even looking at himself.
Hehe, just, do you think this yard is so easy to enter?
Wei Jian stared at the back of the scholar in front of him, with a sinister smile on his face. He turned his head and nodded to a spy in the woods in the distance, then he threw off his sleeves and stepped in.
Walking onto the carpet, the two of them clasped their hands, made some concessions, and sat down one after another.
Wei Jian summoned his servants, brought a new pot of tea, and finally served some preserved fruits, which were extremely precious in this winter.
"Master Lu, please!" Wei Jian picked up the teacup and smiled at Lu Heng.
"Your Majesty, please!" Lu Heng smiled, picked up the teacup, and glanced at Wei Jian.
The two looked at each other, smiled, pecked lightly, and then let it go.
Then, Wei Jian stretched out his palm and clapped it twice in the air. The musicians on the side began to play.
Just, this tune!
After hearing this, Lu Heng couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Hold you in my hands and burn incense religiously..."
It's still the offering of love, but the voice sounds so sad. The whine-like tone makes people feel heartbroken.
This is……
Lu Heng raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Amid the graceful dancing of the girls, a graceful but haggard figure appeared in Lu Heng's sight.
The woman just came with the pipa in her arms. She played the pipa gently with her fingers, her expression was miserable, and tears flashed in her eyes.
This woman, Lu Heng remembered, was once the woman in the green dress standing next to Ni Shang.
At that time, when I first saw this woman, although there was a hint of sadness in the corners of her eyebrows, she still had a plump figure at that time.
Now, it is as yellow as the autumn sun, dry and haggard. It seems as if a gust of wind can take her away.
It has been several years since I left Fang March and Jiangning!
Looking at the woman in front of him who described a huge change, Lu Heng didn't know what to feel in his heart. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then sighed quietly.
"What do you think, Mr. Lu?" Wei Jian took a sip of tea and then threw a date into his mouth. While chewing, he looked at these women with interest, turned around and asked Lu Heng.
"The weather is getting cold, and no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will wither. Next spring will be the best season for them to bloom. What do you think, sir?" Lu Heng's expression did not change, he smiled slightly, turned his head, and looked at
Wei Jiandao.
Those women must have been dancing for a long time.
Now, I was dripping with sweat and panting.
Moreover, the weather outside is very cold. The wind blows from time to time, and the women in thin gauze are like fresh flowers shivering in the autumn wind, which makes people unable to stand.
After hearing what Lu Heng said, Wei Jian was stunned for a moment.
However, when he came to his senses, he was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He clapped his hands and said, "Haha, I never expected that Mr. Lu is also a compassionate person!"
"That's it!" Wei Jian smiled, then glanced at the women. He waved his hands and said, "That's the case, you can go down! "Thank you, sir, thank you, young master!" The women hurriedly bowed to each other like a méng of amnesty.
The two of them saluted.
The green group of women holding the pipa stared blankly at Lu Heng who was sitting on it. They wanted to open their mouths, but it seemed like something was stuck in their throats and they couldn't speak.
The crowd dispersed, but she was the only one who still stood there blankly.
The cold wind blew by, and the green dress on her body was swaying on the branches like the last touch of green in late autumn, as if it might fall off at any time.
"Why don't you go down?" Manager Li saw the displeasure on Fu Yin's face, so he quickly went over and scolded the woman in the green skirt.
At the same time, he secretly winked at her. Get down quickly, otherwise, this old thing will cause trouble again soon.
Hearing the voice of the steward, the woman in the green dress woke up. She quickly hugged the pipa, gathered up her skirt with one hand, and left.
However, it seemed that his body was too weak and he had been exposed to the cold wind for a long time. As he took this step, he suddenly felt weak under his feet and his eyesight turned black.
Suddenly, his body fell down involuntarily.
With a bang, the pipa in his hand flew up and flew to Lu Heng's feet.
With a bang, the strings of the pipa were snapped. The pipa, as if it had lost its soul, was spinning in place.
"Bitch! You deserve to be damned if you dare to disturb our distinguished guests!" Wei Jian seemed to be looking for trouble today when he saw the woman fainting on the ground and the pipa rolling out of her hand.
He suddenly got angry, grabbed the teapot in his hand, and was about to throw it at the woman.
As soon as I grabbed the teapot, before I could raise my hand, I felt someone holding my palm.
Wei Jian turned around and glanced down. Sure enough, his palm was being pressed hard by a palm.
He raised his head and looked at Lu Heng who looked calm.
Wei Jian's expression changed a few times, and he asked in a deep voice: "Master Lu, what do you mean?"
Lu Heng did not let go of his hand, but just smiled slightly, with a flash of smile in his eyes, looking at Wei Jian who had an unkind expression in front of him.
"The flower will be reopened one day, and no one will be young again! A girl is as beautiful as a flower, and like jade, how can you, sir, do that cruel thing of destroying a flower?" The voice was very calm, but deep enough. There was comfort and exhortation in the words,
There is even a strong sense of warning.
Of course Wei Jian heard the meaning of Lu Heng's words, and looking at Lu Heng's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Wei Jian's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Doesn't this person know that today he has become a sheep and a tiger?
How dare you be so presumptuous!
Oh, he is so ignorant to cut his face like this for a girl from a brothel!
It seems that Lu Heng, the most talented person in Jiangning and known as the fortune teller, has a false reputation and is nothing more than mediocre.
He's just a greedy and lustful prodigal!
That's all, that's all. Let him show off his power for a while.
Anyway, there isn’t much time left!
Wei Jian stared at Lu Heng for a long time, secretly calculating in his mind the time when Sasaki and others would arrive. Finally, the hand holding the teapot slowly let go.
At this time, Lu Heng's hand also relaxed.
After the two looked at each other, they suddenly burst into laughter.
"Huā will be reopened, and no one will be young anymore." Wei Jian repeated these words first, then stroked his beard and said: "Young Master is so talented, I admire you!"
"Oh, you're so proud!" Lu Heng looked at Wei Jian with a smile, stretched out his hand, waved to the woman who woke up quietly, and asked her to leave first: "Girl, get off!"
The cold wind swept across the courtyard, and the dry branches around the courtyard made a whining sound.
Occasionally, there are fallen leaves left on the trees, blown down by the wind, swirling rapidly, and clattering on the courtyard wall.
On the weapon racks between the tree trunks, the swords and guns were blown by the wind and screamed softly. In the sun, the swords and guns flashed with cold light!!
